Board terms revised, email nominations by March 31

The TPCH General Council, at its March 12, 2019 special meeting, passed two motions updating our Continuum of Care’s operations and structure. They were:

· The City of Tucson will become the CoC’s new Collaborative Applicant on an appropriate date as determined by a collaborative transition plan.

· Article VI of the TPCH Governance Charter is amended to include a maximum of 27 Board members (21 elected) with three-year terms, align the representation more closely with CoC program requirements, and ensure that no more than one-third of elected Board members’ terms end in any single future year. A lottery will determine terms’
end dates.

New and continuing TPCH Board members will be elected at the May 9 TPCH General Council Annual Meeting, 3-4:30 pm, at the Emily Nottingham (Sentinel) Building, 320 N. Commerce Park Loop.
